NEW IN: 🌹Deana Lawson’s majestic first monograph, published by @aperturefnd. Deana Lawson is nothing short of a force, and this iconic publication is a testament to her power as one of the great artists of our generation. Her photographs contain multitudes — references to the African diaspora, complex emotions, unspoken dreams, dignity, pride, love, visible scars, the trappings of household circumstance, and the tenderness of generations. Through the forty sumptuously reproduced photographs of the book animated by deep colours and an infinite attention to details, we meet head-on with Lawson’s arresting, theatrical scenes where the body’s ability to channel personal and social histories is central. The beauty is in the details around the edges as much as it’s in the heroic quality of the subjects at its center. Very few copies available online and in store! #deanalawson #aperturefoundation #ensemble
